Chances are you may not know there’s an important election around the corner. Representation of our AD-18 values and community matters at all levels, including within the Democratic Party.

We’ll choose to also hold space to acknowledge the historic harm to our indigenous communities this holiday holds and celebrate Native American Heritage Day tomorrow in honor of the many vital contributions of indigenous people here in the U.S.

In LA we have thousands of former foster youth, veterans, low wage workers, and single mothers who can’t afford to pay the rent — and, we have a candidate for Mayor who has now spent over 100 million dollars of his personal wealth trying to convince us he understands the struggle

Our city is hurting. We deserve to heal. We deserve to rebuild. But neither is possible without accountability. I’m waiting for resignations.

Those bills didn’t pass themselves. More than a dozen female leaders wrote those bills, fought for them and got them to the gov’s desk. Congrats to @SenToniAtkins @AsmGarcia @AsmCottie @AsmMiaBonta @asmakilahweber @AsmCarrillo @BuffyWicks @AsmLisaCalderon @CASenCaballero twitter.com/joegarofoli/st…
